Galaxy A7 (2017) tipped to be water-resistant, sport a 5.7" display
Galaxy A7 2017 is expected to grow in screen size compared to the A7 2016 pictured here
Previous rumors pegged the 2017 edition as having a 5.7" panel, but things might have progressed since then, since the new A-series flagship is said to sport a 157.69 x 76.92 x 7.8mm chassis, against the 151.5 x 74.1 x 7.3 mm of its predecessor. That added bulk may have gone into the battery pack, as the A7 (2017) will apparently come with a 3600 mAh juicer now.
The phone is expected to be powered by an Exynos 7880 and have 3 GB RAM as well as 32 GB storage plus memory card slot for its expansion. The camera duties may undergo an interesting twist - both the front and rear cameras are tipped to be with 16 MP resolution, though the main shooter would come with wide f/1.9 aperture.
A finger scanner and USB-C port are par for the course on a phone marked with 2017 in its name, but the most intriguing part of the whole setup, save for the high-res selfie snapper, is that the Galaxy A7 (2017) is said to sport IP68 certification, marking a first for the A-series of Samsung phones.
